I have a backyard too small to pay someone to mow it for me. I bought this little mower and can do my lawn myself in 15 min. It's light enough for me to handle, starts quickly and is easy to move around. It has helped me take care of my lawn myself!

Thank You For Asking

I like my new Sun Joe mower very much.

I am sixty three year old grandmother, and I do my own lawn care, and need something small enough for me to handle.

I have had gas power mowers before, and when they were new pulling the starter cable was no problem, but as they got older, I could not get them started.

But with this electric one, I just plug it in and it starts every time!

I have a small front yard so the 14"cutting path is great. My back yard is a little bigger, but I don't need a bigger mower for that, this one is perfect for me.

Gone To The Dogs!! (perfect!!!!)

This little mower has gone to my dogs!!! It is used only for maintaining the beautiful green carpet in a fenced 20'x20' area where my two Yorkies do their business, play ball, watch the birds, cows and horses, and just hang out.

Before purchasing the MJ401E I struggled for 15 minutes to get the big old mower started. After cutting I had to rake the cut grass, sometimes that took 30 minutes or so.

Now I'm TOTALLY finished with the dog yard within 20 minutes---- no trimming, raking or tugging on the old mower.

Sun Joe Lawn Mower

We are very pleased with the performance of the Sun Joe 14" Lawn Mower.

We had a difficult time finding an affordable electric mower. We have a very small patch of grass and it looks great after cutting it with the Sun Joe.

The only problem we are currently experiencing is the grass catcher. The clippings are flying out the sides where it connects to the lawn mower.

We are going to call to see if we are doing something wrong when we connect it to the mower or if it is defective.

Product Expert

August,

You can call SunJoe Technical Support toll free at (866) 766-9563; they will be happy to help you.

We purchased another home and have only 800 sq.ft. of grass, which only needed a small electric mower (retired electrician).

The little green machine which rotates at 3500 rpm and the ease of cutting grass in 15 minutes is perfect for the retired landscaper. Because of the grass catcher there is no raking to do.

The first time I used it I knew this was the mower for me. This deserves the top rating for the size of the machine.

Best Thing I Ever Bought.

I am a very active 82 yr old woman with a 1650 sq ft house that I take care of myself, and I have always taken care of my own yard. The grassy area in my yard is about 1600 sq ft. I had an electric mower for several years, and then switched to a small riding mower which was a piece of junk.

I saw the Mow Joe online and decided, what the heck - I have nothing to lose. I LOVE IT. It is so light, I can push it with one hand and it does an excellent job. The only problem I have with it is the grass catcher. The instructions are not very clear and it is a bit difficult for me to handle. But other than that, it is great.

Very Pleased

I have a small yard and needed a small inexpensive mower, so I did a web search and found the Mow Joe at Mowers Direct. It arrived quickly and the minor assembly (just adding the handle and the grass catcher) was easy.

My main concern was that the yard had become a bit overgrown since I had been without a mower for a few weeks. Since the Moe Joe was at the low end of the expense range, I was afraid it might lack the power to handle the thick grass. I needn't have worried - the motor didn't even slow as it chopped through my "jungle". I am very pleased.

I purchased this mower because I gave my gas mower away. I wasn't able to pull the cord to get it started. So I purchased this electric mower, put it together and started mowing my overgrown lawn. It did a good job. If you are in need of an inexpensive electric mower this is a good one to purchase. It gets the job done.

It is light weight easy to handle and does a great job of cutting. I can't say enough about this piece of equipment as it has taken the hard work out of my lawn cutting and made it so easy for my 86 year old body. Thank you for my Mow Joe.

The Mower Needs Bigger Wheels.

The mower that I bought functions well, but because the grass we have in our yard is St. Augustine, and is very dense and needs to be cut leaving a minimum of 3 inches height it is not possible to adjust the position of the wheels cut the grass at that height. It needs a lot of effort to push the mower as the wheels are too small and the resistance from the grass is enormous!
If it had much larger wheels it may make it easier to operate.
Disappointed.

Tapan Does Not Recommend This Mower

Product Expert

Tapan,

Thank you for contacting Mowers Direct, it is great you like the mower but yes this mower does have smaller wheels than a standard gas mower which will make it harder to go through thicker grass. You could probably purchase bigger wheels but you are going to mess with the cutting height of the mower as well. We appreciate the feedback and will pass it on to Sun Joe for possible improvements and they may have an option for you now as well.

I have a small island of grass and this little mower works great on it. It is perfect for small yards. Easy to run and is light weight. I almost expect bubbles to come out of it it is so cute.

Handy To Have

With a bad back and no real strength, the light weight of this mower is a big plus, and having an allergy to grass makes the catcher another big plus, not having all that grass blowing around and irritating me.

Of course, having to empty it fairly often is no fun, but my yard is relatively small so works for me.

Tried the mower and found that it cut very well but you MUST empty the collector bag every three to five minutes. It's ok for a very small lawn but not for trimming my edges of a half acre. Beats dragging a weed eater by...well it don't.

Great For Small Yards And Not So Young Folks.

I really like this little mower. My yard is small. I've been using a reel mower which I also like, but sometimes the grass gets away from me and the reel mower just lays it down. I have Centipede grass which sends up seed heads that grow way faster than the grass. I'd have to mow every few days with the reel mower to keep them down, which i don't want to do.

Now...I have this machine. It's light and maneuverable. I like that it's pretty quiet and uses electricity instead of gasoline...although it's still fossil fuels. I'd recommend it to anyone with a small yard.

So Cute! So Handy!

The grass in the back yard was beginning to look like a hay field, so I was really happy when the mower was delivered! It is so cute that I didn't want to get it dirty by mowing, but it had to be done. However, the grass was so high and so thick that the mower had a hard time. Now, the plan is to mow every week, so we won't have this problem again. I have to mention that our yard is very small and we have limited storage space, so it's perfect for us.

"The shipping time was absolutely incredible! The box was on the front porch before I hung up the phone after placing the order."

My last mower was battery powered, however it weighed about 90 pounds and pushing it around my yard became a real chore. Since I have arthritis, I found I needed something lighter but with some power. The Mow Joe I bought fills that need perfectly. It's light, maneuverable, and powerful. The first two mows of the season were done easily and quickly without any pain. So, I'm sold on Mow Joe.

Great For Small Yard

It is very lightweight, however, that is also a drawback because it often lifts up in the front when you put weight on the handle. It also takes longer due to the smaller width of the machine, but overall it does a great job.

Needed a light-weight mower for my medium sized lawn. When it arrived, I didn't have an appropriate extension cord, so I wheeled it over to a neighbor's so that we could give it a try. He told me to "save the box", because I'd be sending it back. Knowing better than to listen to a man :-). I bought an extension cord and tried it myself! It worked perfectly. At first, the cord
management was a challenge, but then, thanks to Google, I came across a very helpful video showing how to do that. Brilliant and a piece of cake now. I love my Mow Joe! I won't even go into how darned cute it is!

I Finally Got A New Lawn Mower

I am very happy with how fast it cuts my lawn, especially compared to my old sunbeam lawn mower.

the only thing that bothers me is the grass catcher bag is not big enough to handle the load from my front and back lawn together

Works well for a small mower. With grass as tall as it got this spring, with lots of rain in Denver, the clippings bag needed frequent emptying, so it would have been nice if it had a mulching option, but it still did the job I bought it for.

Love This Mower

This is the second time in two years that I have bought this mower. The first time was for a small yard at a condo I owned, and the second time was for a bigger yard for the house I moved into. It was easy to put together and started right away, so I knew just what to do. It's quiet and easy to use. The bagger holds a lot too. Couldn't be happier with this size mower and its lightweight maneuverability.

Have a small backyard that I have to cut. I searched various stores for electric mowers and eventually decided on MowersDirect. Received my purchase in 1 week, during which time my grass grew to be 6-8" long. No problem for this powerful little mower! Did a great job. This mower proved to be a great choice!

Small Yard.....easy Job

Have a small yard, tired of the gas mower hassle, purchased a battery-powered model, but found it was too heavy and returned it. Got tired of my wife bugging me about not keeping the yard up, so I found a good solution without leaving.

Purchased a 14" Mow Joe, and it does the job well. Only design change I would make would be to put on bigger tires at the rear. This would make it simpler to make 180 degree turns.

Mow Joe The Lightweight Workhorse

I have a hard-to-get-at spot in my yard where I had to put my heavy gas powered lawnmower on a ramp to the spot I needed to cut.

My Mow Joe only weighs 30 lbs., and I carry it to the spot and cut with ease. What a great investment.

We have a very small amount of lawn on a lake lot with steep approach to lake front. As we have plenty of electrical outlets, we decided to try a light weight mower that could be carried to bottom of lawn next to lake. This mower does a nicer job than could be achieved using a string trimmer.

Used mower twice, and I'm satisfied it will be a good size for my small yard. The one improvement I would make with this mower would be to make the back wheels larger than the front ones. It would be very helpful to have larger back wheels.
